Get your ticket, grab your seat, and experience films exploring themes connected to the art on view in SAM’s galleries. SAM Films features a changing roster of exciting guest film curators who bring the ideas from the museum’s exhibitions and collections to the big screen.
SAM Films returns in fall 2024 with a series related to Meot: Korean Art from the Frank Bayley Collection, on view at the Seattle Asian Art Museum through March 2, 2025. The exhibition features over 60 ceramics, paintings, calligraphy, and more from seven internationally recognized contemporary Korean artists, examining how they innovate while being inspired by past forms. Independent film curator Hannah Baek has curated a slate of genre-hopping contemporary Korean films echoing this idea within cinema.
For over five decades, SAM has offered dynamic and nationally recognized film programming. From 1972 to 2020, noted film curator Greg Olson led SAM Films, showcasing a comprehensive and genre-bending exploration of artists and stories associated with this important medium of the moving image arts. He presented visiting filmmakers including Andy Warhol, Werner Herzog, Matt Groening, Michael Powell, and David Lynch. The program’s celebrated film noir series was a Seattle institution that ran for 43 years–once the world’s longest-running series of that genre.
Screening Schedule:
The Host
Oct 30
6:30–9:30 pm
Come in your finest costumes for this Halloween Monster Movie Night screening of The Host. An early film by director Bong Joon-ho (Parasite), The Host literalizes the monstrous consequences of military imperialism while injecting humor and tragedy into a classic monster romp.
The Good, the Bad, and the Weird
Nov 3
2–4 pm
It’s 1939, and in the wilderness of Japanese-occupied Manchuria, three bandits chase each other in pursuit of a map promising endless riches. But little do they know, this trio of the Good (a lone bounty hunter), the Bad (a vicious bandit), and the Weird (a thief with little to lose) will end up swept up in a battle of empires and power beyond their imaginations.
Joint Security Area
Nov 13
6:30–9:30 pm
When two North Korean soldiers are killed in the border area between North and South Korea known as the Joint Security Area (JSA), an international investigation uncovers contradicting stories that challenge the very notions of truth, nationhood, and brotherhood.
Killing Romance
Nov 17
2–4 pm
A has-been actress marries a charismatic billionaire while on a tropical vacation. Unsurprisingly, he turns out to be a psychopathic narcissist, and she plans her escape with the help of one of her diehard super-fans.
